Carrer center tames students stress
While many students find themselves putting off homework, using the same procrastinating techniques for college selection will cause problems. “If you wait for your senior year, you will be totally stressed out and overwhelmed with the whole process,” said counselor Craig Hunnicut. Luckily, students have a wealth of information at their fingertips. The Career Center, headed by Hunnicutt, can provide answers to the dilemmas that life after high school can bring. “I think that the career center at FHS has definitely increased student awareness of opportunities of options after high school,” said Hunnicutt. “Our students are making better choices regarding their future because of the resources available in the career center. For those who plan to graduate, the career center can be an important resource even for those who don’t go straight to college. It has resources on training programs, vocational and technical schools, and information on the armed forces. The career center is also stacked with books on colleges and job opportunities. It has computer programs with job information, scholarship searches, career assessment and internet access. “I think the career center is a great resource for searching and applying to colleges,” said senior Lindsay Ogle. “With the computer programs and Mr. Hunnicutt’s knowledge about the process, it is really helpful.” |
